The skeleton of all good websites, a good knowledge of HTML, XHTML and CSS are a fundemental and incredibly important part of the web as we know it.
HTML is deceptive in it's simplicity, as many people fall into very bad practises easilly.
I however pride myself upon creating each part of my websites from scratch and by hand. This allows me to have total control over the incredibly inportant processes of validation and accesibility.
Although most of the layout work that I do contains a mixture of technologies, this section shows more static sites hand coded with XHTML & CSS as the framework.
Please also see the CMS section for examples of my templating and dynamic sites.
